Old, but still good

In honor of the holiday.

A man was given a parrot. As it turned out, this parrot was rude, obnoxious, obscene.

The guy talked to it quietly and with civility. He played Chopin, Brahms and J. S. Bach.

Nothing helped and one day close to Thanksgiving when the parrot had yet again told him what he could do to himself, he grabbed it, opened the freezer door and
stuffed it in. How that bad bird squawked! When it got quiet, the guy opened the door and the parrot, looking genuinely remorseful, hopped out onto his forearm.

"I am sincerely sorry for my despicable behavior. I promise to change my wicked ways if you will forgive me."

The guy said, "Sure."

The parrot said, "Sir, may I ask you a question?"

"Okay."

"What did the turkey do?"
